Parallel abstract (English)

Climate changes that occur in the world, global exchange of goods and other human activities cause areal
spreding of many invasive species. Two types of invasive species of mosquitos apeare in Croatia: Aedes
albopictus and Aedes japonicus. Encouraged by the fact that these species transfer numerous infective and
dangerous deseases, scientists and health professionals begin to explore and sample these species. Since 2004
when Aedes albopictus was first found, and 2013 when Aedes japonicus was first found, continuous monitoring
of the spread area in Croatia has being introduced. Since then Aedes albopictus occures all over Croatia except
in Virovitičko - podravska county., and Požeško - slavonska county. Aedes japonicus is according to the last
monitoring found in ten counties in Croatia.
